ABSTRACT:
An improved method to set up automatically a computer system configuration in association with a system upgrade that involves the installation of a set of operative elements necessary for the reliable operation of the same. The correct, operative combination of hardware, system and application software components is accomplished by inter-component dependency checking and improved conflict resolving procedures in association with specific dependency rules tables and an ordered database that stores definitions of components and relationships thereof.
